The aim of this series is to give in well-printed, clearly written, and readable volumes a view of the process by which the leading peoples of the world have become great and earned their title to greatness, to describe the share each has contributed to the common stock of civilization. It is not so much a set of political or military or even social histories, as a sequence of readable studies on the tendencies and potencies of the chief peoples of the world, that this series will strive to present.
NOW READY:
THE SPANISH PEOPLE.
By Dr. Martin A. S. Hume.
"The reader quickly perceives that the riches promised by Dr. Powell are amply found, at least in this first volume. The history is written with a new object and from a new standpoint; there is not a dull page in it. Mr. Hume writes with all the advantages of the modern historical specialist, and his picture of the development of the Spaniard is an important history of a people whose picturesque career is one of unfailing interest."—Boston Daily Advertiser.
THE FRENCH PEOPLE.
By Arthur Hassall, M. A., Student of Christ Church, Oxford; Author of "The Balance of Power," etc.
